This video was made as research towards a final project that the
2007 class decided to develop in groups. Research had to occur about and on YouTube. This project was one of several videos created by the Blacks on YouTube group and posted by

There is a significant body of
academic work on the representation of
race in cyberspace.
Artists,
students and
activists contribute to these conversations

Racializing Cyberspace suggets: "While new media are indeed new in many ways, they too often fall into quite old patterns when dealing with issues of race and ethnicity. Biologists, social scientists and social movements have led us to understand race as a socially constructed process, rather than a natural fact, but racial categories, racist structures and racist representations remain very much alive."
